Rival Consoles has constructed a new live mix ahead of his appearance at a SoundCrash warehouse party.
Real name Ryan Lee West, London based producer Rival Consoles is part of the globe-spanning Erased Tapes family. Releasing new album ‘Kid Velo’ last year, the beatsmith took a typically inventive approach to the record.
Deeply conceptual, ‘Kid Velo’ was released in eleven weekly chunks. Computerised music with a human soul, Rival Consoles is continually evolving beyond any boundaries placed in his way.
Working on his live show, Rival Consoles has increasingly emerged from his shell. Set to play a secret warehouse party in London on June 2nd, the producer will take yet another step forward in his live evolution.
Appearing alongside 808 State Soundsystem, Ceephax Acid Crew and more, Rival Consoles has decided to produce a preview live mix ahead of the show. “I was interested in faults and buzzing and imperfections and dub bass lines with slow house rhythms” he explains. “I used analogue gear and sampling, with less emphasis on change and more emphasis on old school tone and mood.”
Handed exclusively to ClashMusic, you can stream the mix below.
